The Peanut Gallery: An Exception To Every Rule
Posted by Ross Rosenberg
Krazmo attempts to dispel any attempt to discern an over-arching narrative for Don’t Cry sweet potatoes:
I don’t think the theme of the label really has much to do with the type of produce inside. As evidence, I cite the following gallery full of such lovely, obsolete art.

However, based on the image above it would seem that not all produce imagery is without cohesive thematic intentions. Less can be said for the likes of, say, Gay Johnny Texas Vegetables.

BWAHAHA!!!
I must surrender to your superior logic and and observational skills. Buxom melons indeed.
If those were grown somewhere here in the south instead of California, I would point to the corn liquor, but I guess that won’t wash.
